STOVE.

Application filed July 1,

To al( 'TU/om t may concern.'

Be it known that I, CARL H. Horrs'rn'r'rnn, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Erie, in the county of Erie and State ofPennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Stoves, ofwhich the following is a specification.

The stove is particularly designed with relation to one utilizingradiants which extend upwardly from the burner and which are heated fromthe burner flames. lVith these stoves it is desirable to forni a backingthat will both radiate the heat and also protect the rear of the stove.I have found that this may be accomplished by ,using heavy smoothasbestos board which is held in place by a metal support protecting theback by placing the support in front of the back of the stove.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing as follows Fig.1 is a front elevation of the stove.

Fig. 2 a section on the line 2-2 in Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 a section on the line 3 3 in Fig 1.

Fig. 4t a section on the line 4 4 in Fig. 3.

The stove is formed with the sides 1 bent forwardly .from a back 2,angle irons 1a stiffeniug the corners. A top 3 is arranged over the`sides and back. The burner 4t has rearwardly projecting lugs 5 whichengage the back 2 and screws 6 extend through the back into theprojections securing the burner in place. The usual mixer 7 is arrangedon a pipe extending from the burner through the side 1. Radiants S reston the burner, jet openings 9 opening into the radiante.

A metal back 10 is arranged to the rear of the burner projections 5extending through this back so as to support it. The bottom ofthe backis bent rearwardly and upwardly at 11 forming a closure along the bottomand to the rear and downwardly at the top forming a closure at 12. Theends of the metal back have the forward extensions 13 projectingforwardly at the sides of the end radiants and the side plates lllof thestove face are secured to these extensions 13. Front plates 16 areprovided over the ends of the sides 14 and the sides 1 of the stove.

A facing 17 is arranged on the support 10 immediately tothe rear of theradiants. This facing is formed of asbestos board, pre- 1921. Serial No.481,797.

board is bent forwardly at 18 along the extensions 13 and the extensions13 are crimped over the edge of the board 18 and 19, thus securing theboard in place and finishing the edge.

Perforations 20 extend through the metal back 10 near its upper end anda Ydeiiecting cap 20 is hung over the front of theradiants by means ofprojections 22 which extend rearwardly over the top of the radiants intothe openings 20, the projections having the up-turned ends 23 so thatthe plate 21 may be hooked into the openings. The plate is closed 'atthe top as clearly shown in Fig. 3 forming a deflector to deflect thegases 'through an opening 24 at the upper end of the metal kback 10. Apipe Hue 25 extends from the back 2 and the gases passing into the spacebetween the metal vback 10 and the back escape through this flue.

It will be noted that the metal back extends downwardly along the rearface of the burner forming an efficient support for the burner, theasbestos board facing terminating at the upper face ofthe burner thusbringing it into proper relation withV the radiants and strengtheningthe structure.

That I claim as new is 1. In a stove, the combination of a burner;radiants extending upwardly from the burner; and a backing at the rearof the radiants comprising a metal back having a facing of asbestosboard, the back extending forwardly at the sides of ythe end radiantsand theV board extending forwardly along the forwardly extending portionof the back.

2. In a stove, the combination `of a burner; radiants extending upwardlyfrom the burner; and a backing at the rear of the radiants comprising ametal back having a facing of asbestos board,rthe side edges of themetal back extending around and enclosing the edge of the facing. l

3. In a stove, the combination of a burner; radiants extending upwardlyfrom the burner; a backing at the rear 'of the radiants comprising ametal back having a facing of asbestos bo'ardj a stove back; projectionsfrom the burner extending through n' the metal back against the backing;and means for securing the burner to 'the Stove back.

4.' In a stove, the combination of a, burner gf Y upwardlyV extendingradants on the burner; and. a backing at the remfv of the radntscomprising a ymetal back extending downu -Wardly lalong the; Tea):lsdevnof the'y bnrner ranged on the metal back and termnting at thefaceof theburner.
